Title: Method and apparatus for the mechanical recording of sound oscillations
IPC: G11B15/70
Filed: 1937-11-06
Abstract: 505,435. Sound recording and reproducing machines. RETERSON HOLDING SOC. ANON. Nov. 6, 1937, No. 30516. Convention date, Nov. 6, 1936. [Class 40 (ii)] A machine for mechanically recording sound has an endless film wound to form a reel, a loop connecting the innermost and outermost windings thereof, and means for moving the stylus transversely in a step-by-step movement each time the film has nearly completed a full cycle of circulation to form a continuous track. The endless film 1, Fig. 3, is wound in a reel 2 supported on a number of rollers 3 and for recording is unwound from the inside, the rotation of the reel being assisted by a driven disc in lateral frictional contact with it, Fig. 5 (not shown). Each recorder 81, 8<2> has associated with it a drum 5<1>, 5<2> over which the film passes, tension being maintained by a driven drum 6 acting with a frictional drum 7. The recorders are mounted on a carriage to which transverse movement is imparted by means of a screw 134, Fig. 2, rotated by a pawl 132 and ratchet wheel 10. A notch in the film is arranged to close contacts 4<2>, 4<3> through a feeler 4<1> so completing a circuit through a solenoid 102 to a source of E.M.F. 130. The solenoid 102 locks up over contacts 109, 110 and causes a rotating wheel 115 to come into frictional contact with the drive 122 of a drum 120. This carries helically placed contacts 123 (b, c, d) each of which, on coming into contact with a brush 124, completes a circuit through a solenoid 128 which, by actuating a lever 131, causes the interruption of the current to solenoid 102 by contacts 135 and advances the ratchet wheel 10 one tooth. Where two recorders are mounted on the carriage one is able to be set independently by means of a screw adjustment, Fig. 7 (not shown). Specification 453,890 is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes a means for producing a continuous spiral recording in which the carriage is moved continuously by rotating its driving screw continuously through a reduction gearing from the recording roller, which gearing may be of fixed ratio or infinitely variable through an adjustable friction drive, Figs. 8 and 9 (not-shown). This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 485,001. Aircraft with rotary - wing systems. CIERVA AUTOGIRO CO., Ltd., BENNETT, J. A. J., and ELLIS, G. B. L. Nov. 12, 1936, No. 30935. [Class 4] A self-contained pivotal mechanism for mounting the blades of aircraft sustaining rotors includes two relatively rotatable parts, means for transmitting end load from one to the other of said parts comprising an elastic member of high resistance to end loading and low torsional rigidity, the relatively rotatable parts having in other respects a limited axial freedom relatively to each other and the whole being so arranged that the end load sustained by the pivotal mechanism is substantially transmitted by the elastic member, which is relatively short, being wholly contained within the pivotal mechanism. As shown, a blade root 9 is furnished with a goose-neck fitting 8 rigidly connected to a pivot pin 7. The pivot pin 7 is mounted in radial-bearings 5, 6 in a housing 4 provided in a drag-link 2 pivoted to the hub 1 about a transverse flapping axis which may be inclined to either or both the plane containing the hub axis and the radial blade axis or to the plane perpendicular to the hub axis. The pivot pin and housing 4 are connected through a short length of stranded cable 10. The cable is connected to an abutment plate 14 and to an adjustment nut 20. A spacing sleeve 17 and thrust bearing 16 are interposed between the pivot-pin and the nut. The bearings 5, 6 can float in the housing and a thrust bearing ring 22 is provided. During assembly the cable is initially tensioned by an end load slightly less than the minimum end load in flight and the clearance between ring 22 and flange 21 is such as to allow for stretch of the cable corresponding to an increase of end loading from the initial loading to a value somewhat greater than any value obtaining during flight. A dimensioned example is given in the Specification. The torsional rigidity of the elastic-member may have a value having regard to its effective axial length that the restoring couple corresponding to 3‹ twist does not exceed the limiting static friction-couple of the bearing 16. The member 10 may comprise a non-spinning type of cable. Specifications 420,322, 452,364, and 474,681 are referred to.
